Please post configs that are working for you ... card type, MHs, power draw if known :) also what version of sgminer you are using.

Warning do not update to 14.9 WHQL, u will murder your hashrates all algos

Hopefully if enough people complain about the 5+ card issue they will fix it before release.
6+cards seem to be working ok with 14.7RC3 now out of the box :)

Here is previous 14.6RC2 since new release candidate is out:

Use 7zip to extract and place the .cl files in your sgminer 4.1.0 kernels folder.

Optimized x13mod bin file for 7950 Tahiti (and possibly 280x,290x and other 6xxx,7xxx) compiled with sgminer 4.1.0 catalyst 14.6RC2 for use with catalyst 14.4

If you want to try another TC or WS on X13 let me know and I'll compile  and try it and post bin.
To try with non Tahiti card try editing file name to Hawaii or whatever ...

I'm also interested in collecting X13 vs scrypt hashrate info.

Remember this is a testing thread, your mileage may vary :)
If you are having trouble, please post detailed info what u are using, what problem is :) There are no mind readers here LOL.
Read the thread, your question/problem may have already been addressed.

Not working with my 6 GPU rigs unfortunately (only 4 GPUs are usable). The drivers will need to be modded if you have 5+ GPUs.

However, this *should* work, I haven't had a chance to try it yet:

DO NOT TRUST THE OP's LINK !!!

lasybear's thread ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623409.0

You are right that no link should be trusted, however I think the 2 warnings on Virustotal are caused by the site the file is hosted on (http://puu.sh) as just scanning http://puu.sh brings up the same warnings:

https://www.virustotal.com/en/url/7c7189b07edfe6433f33dcb726a4a60a9e780db40889570c3f83e4e0d2ea00cb/analysis/

Thanks guys, was going to download it

You know it's just a .cl file right? Hardly a threat ...

are you stupid? this cl files...canot be virust...

Not seeing much of an improvement in hashrates with the optimized .cl file.  Possibly more stable hash, but also likely placebo.

These rigs are all on Win8.1 using 13.12 (with the 14.6 openCL files inserted into folder) and the sgminer_14.6 (fixed) build from here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=658411.0

280xs: ~4.2mhs @ 1100/1500
290s: ~4.6mhs @ 946/1260

Are you blind ? :P

The site is the main concern.

Post up with results if you try that.  Are you using the 14.6 RC2 or the original 14.6 beta drivers? Wondering if the above suggestion would only work with the first beta drivers only,  or if it would not matter if the RC2 drivers were loaded.

6xxx/5xxx ？

14.6 RC2 gave no improvement on my HD5450.

Is that there is no acceleration / 5 6 XXX XXX successfully! Isn't it!

ROLF !

We apparently have a mormon posting suspicious links to a file that is suppose to give a 5450 a boost, on our hands. :o

*edit, not RC2 -- but posted as a reference/comparison

I found this update and tried to install the Catalyst 14.6 with the modified x11mod kernel. So far the hashrates increased a lot for my r9 280x cards.

XFX R9 280X now: 3.8 MH/s before: 3.1 MH/s
ASUS R9 280X DC2T now: 4.1 MH/s before 3.1 MH/s
XFX R9 270X now: 2.5 MH/s before 2MH/s

I don't have data for power consumtion right now.

All three cards in one rig is about 10.5 MH/s and seems to run stable at the moment. GPU Temps about 67° now; before the update about 65°

sgminer 4.1.0, win7 64bit

sgminer.conf

You are missing the point of the OP ... simple upgrade to 14.6 RC2 and x11mod.cl from the link now works with sgminer 4.1.0 without have to do a lot of mucking about in patching up 14.6 beta original or creating yet another fork of sgminer to get it to work.
I don't want to be locked into a .bin provided that only works with whatever TC and WS it was compiled with.  
I need to be able to compile my own working .bin from .cl to work on further tuning of config :)

Cheers :)

Anyone have a modified INF for the 14.6 RC2 yet for 5+ GPUs???

Can't use the modified inf for the 14.6 may version.

Here's what I've got so far ... still tuning my config:

I would like to know too.

If anyone does come up with Modded INF for 14.6RC2 for 5+ cards let me know and I'll add link on OP.

Forgot to post this here aswell..


I'm running Windows 7 with the 14.4 v3 mod drivers, lasybear's miner (sgminer_x11x13mod_03_06_2014.zip), and Pencha's BIN file.

Help!!!
Anyone have a 3 modified INF for the 14.6 RC2 yet for 5+ GPUs ???

Currently testing X15 algo (bitblock), I'm getting around 2.2Mhs on a 7950 which is about 4x scrypt
I'm using SGminer beta 5. Windows 7 x64 (only tested with X15 so far)
https://mega.co.nz/#!9BYBCIpb!9u-UdMe9h3SV_6ifqTsCpI1PkTiXdBzLoxModwfbKb4 (https://mega.co.nz/#!9BYBCIpb!9u-UdMe9h3SV_6ifqTsCpI1PkTiXdBzLoxModwfbKb4)

X15.bat
I have never used "profiles": [], before so I just put in pools section

X15.conf

Anyone suggest config settings for a 7990 x11/x13? Getting 6.2Mhs 60-61c underclocked to 1000, 1100mem, 1.065v, int 16, tc 22400

Sorry I don't have 7990 :(

My settings for X15 and X13 on the R9 280X and 7970s

sgminer.exe --algorithm bitblock -o POOL -u USER -p PASS -w 128 --lookup-gap 2 -I 18 -g 4 --gpu-powertune 0 --gpu-engine 1030 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-fan 35-80 --temp-target 62 --temp-overheat 67 --temp-cutoff 74 --auto-fan

Getting about 2.7 in X13 and 2.0 in X15
Driver is 14.4 (gonna try 14.6 see if I can squeeze more)
sgminer 4.2.1

x15 shows my gpu's going to 100c and fans to 9999 rpm. Idk why but it does.

WOW!
is that driver showing you crap or really the card goes to 100C ? check temp physically and power consumption.
I will scare the shit outta me if I see 100C on one of my GPUs :o
what miner, bin, settings, driver, os,card are U using?

Same experience only get 5 290 GPUs on a Asrock Bitcoin Board with 14.6.

Are you saying that new driver 14.6's card count limit is 5 cards?, that sucks!, damn!.

Well it fired up fine and was about 50% fastest but unstable since within the hour I lost the 6th card.  Some weird error message in device manager,  I rolled back the driver and still am getting better hash but not maxing it out man.

for some reason on x15 my fans stay at idle no matter how hot the card gets (MSI 290) if I set fan speed manually in msi afterburner works ok and temps are normal

Weird!, I will check it on my dev miner and post results, but my biggest miner only has 5 cards, i was thinking about build one with 6, but now... :(

I know it looks obvious but, make sure afterburner is not running and use something like this in the .BAT of the miner:

--temp-target 63 --temp-overheat 68 --temp-cutoff 73 --gpu-fan 35-90 --auto-fan

see if still behaves like that, if it is the only choice i can think of is to set afterburner to a fixed FAN speed, 290 are huge beasts, so probably 70 to 80% would be best, I have all MSI 280X and in scrypt-N i run all cards at 100%, in X11,13,15 usually are between 40 a 60%.

Remember that sgminer v5 is a beta ...

I'm getting hw errors when mining x15 with Radeon 5000 series cards. 7000 series and 280x work fine with sgminer beta.


Anyone have any ideas on this issue? The 5000 series hash, but get only hw errors and no accepted work results :(

I got an old HD5450 going with sgminer v5 beta and 14.6RC2 however no shares submitted:
X15.bat
X15.conf

57 Khs ROFL

bumped up Intensity to 18 and it gets 58 KHs LOL

It's hashing but I have not seen any shares accepted yet ...
No HW errors. WU 0.00
I don't think 5xxx cards work with sgminer v5 beta

How much more hashrate gain from 14.6 rc than beta1? I should condider before reinstalling.It takes more than half hour.

Took off the underclock added your setting's bumped me up to 7.1Mhs 62-63c ;D

14.6 getting 4.10-4.30MH/s on my rig cards installed 2-7970s and 1-280x am using the same conf for them X11 heres my .bat code,

Can someone with a 280x upload a .bin file for the new x13mod kernel on 14.6?

I am using four 280x's and the new miner crashes when using 14.6 drivers but is fine on 14.4. No matter what I try can't seem to get it working. Tried with W7,W8 & the new pimp but no luck.

i get 2.72mh with the new drivers and x11mod on r9 270x

here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=667250.msg7572380#msg7572380   ;D ;D

I get an instant boost just by doing what they say there, no need to change the x11mod.cl or x13mod.cl just the bins and add the switch to the .BAT like they say there.

jumped from 3 MH to 4.4 MH in X11, from 2.2 MH to 3.1 MH in X13  (MSI R9 280X)
sgminer 4.1, driver is 14.4.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=667250.msg7576218#msg7576218

His miner works on Radeon 6000 series if I use the bitblockold kernel, but it does not work with 5000 series. Did you get your 5450 card to work with x15 ?

No I have no luck with X15 on 5450 :(

utahjohn, I know that you are collecting 14.6RC2 data in this thread,  but is there a .bin file available for x13 from 14.6 drivers that I can drop into my mining folder so that I can stick with my 14.4 modded driver, like I have been doing with x11?
(I'm running six hd7950 cards on one Win8 rig.)

My x13 stats right now are that I'm seeing about ~2.33 Mh/s per card,  ~14Mh/s total using lasybears x11/x13 miner. I tossed in the modded kernel and saw the same hashrate with either one. Haven't checked amp draw, but I'll estimate around 8A based on card temps.

Nice man,  thanks!  Bumped me right up to ~2.67x to 2.68x  Mh/s per card,  or ~15.9x to 16.0x Mh/s total.

I have not played around with the config yet,  but the above was optimized for x11, other than the difficulty setting which I have since changed for X13 hashrate.
I'll post up again if I find any better settings.

Trying to avoid win 8.1 for as long as possible,  so thanks for the .bin file. Win8 is bad enough.

X13@1060/1400 = 2.89mh/s
-I 19 -w 256 -g 2 --thread-concurrency=8192

And same settings for X11 = 4.1mh/s

what GPU?

Right, forgot to mention, 280x-s

I would say your problem is with driver 13.12 ... update to 14.4 or 14.6RC2

hi guys, i have 280x cards but max speed in X11 is still 3.2 MH :P
anyone can give me 100% working source with 4.2MH/s on 280x ?

whan i am doing wrong ? :)

Not doing anything wrong, sgminer v5 has been modified in that when you specity x11mod you actually get darkcoin-mod kernel.  Look at the binfile created by v5.  same thing happens with x13mod kernel specified, you get marucoin-mod bin file.
The x11mod and x13mod .cl posted in OP and the bin posted on OP do work great with sgminer 4.1.0

The optimized x11mod and x13mod .cl DO NOT WORK on sgminer v5

sgmienr 4.1.0 wont accept x11mod.cl
hmm ?

Hello..

So it kinda seems like everyone is running there gpu full tilt boogie on x11 etc ! Which is  fine, if you have cheap power rates. Im paying about .12 a killa watt. So its a bit high. I ran scypt for full throttle for about 4 months. I finally realized that running a heavy under volt was the way to go. It didn't really pay off to have the rig pulling massive watts form the wall. Heres a little example. One rig with 6 270 was pulling 1080 watts on scrypt. Hashing around 2900 kh/s. I undervolted to .950 and was able to get 2520 kh/s at 705 watts. So my question is has anyone found some good hashing power with new or old drivers on x11 while still pulling minimal watts from the wall?

x11 uses about half the power of scrypt which is another reason why it's so popular with GPU miners. Using the newest 14.6 drivers with any x11 supported sgminer version should give you good hashing at a much lower power cost compared to scrypt. Plus it'll be more profitable.

utahjohn - so continuing the conversation from the Wafflepool thread...

I backed up all my configs and updated to the PiMP 1.5.5-amd-14.4 distro image which has Catalyst 14.4.

Copied over your optimized cl files and the bin files (your X13 bin and someone else's optimized bin for X11).

Results are almost exactly the same as I had under the 13.12 drivers on 14.4:
https://i.imgur.com/hJHOc4s.png

Any higher on "some" of the GPU's core/mem speeds get me HW errors or SICK GPUs.

Playing with other values such as variations on intensity, shaders, GPU threads, etc, get me lower values than these.

Any ideas?

I've been seeing my highest hashrates using I=18.  If I go to 19 or higher, or 17 or lower, it will fall off.  

Try I=18 and then see if you can goose the memclocks up 10 at a time and see what happens.

(If I go above 1500 memclock, or  1100 engine clock, my gpus will start checking out.)

What are you using for gpu threads? 4 seems to work ok for me,  I will lose hash if I go to 1. I forget what happens if I go to 2 or 3.  

I have sapphire hd7950 though,  don't know much about the MSI cards other than they might drink a little more power.

Edit: Also wanted to add that I'm using the lasybear x11/x13 miner,  although I don't know if the modded x13 kernel loaded into a different sgminer basically would give the same performance. Maybe trying  that miner would help.  It is based  off of the "2% fee" miner but does not send hash out to anyone.

Forcefed may be on to something there I'm pretty sure i'm using lasybear's version of sgminer ... I forgotten where I got it, been quite a while ago.
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I had to take a nap ;)

Link to the thread:

I've seen "hamsi-expand-big" : "4"
in some configs scattered about bitcointalk threads ... any explanation what this is for?

Anyone know how to get x15 on PiMP?

on my 1g memory (or above) 5xxx and 6xxx cards ,the bitblockold algorithm works fine,but 512m cards can't run,says not enough memory.
I tried to decrease TC or increase LG,can't work neither.
seems that parameter "--thread-concurrency" and "--lookup-gap" don't play a part in Bitblockold algorithm.
Is there any other ways that can  decrease the memory occupancy in order to let my 512m cards run the x15 algo？

Drop WS to 64 (or even 32 which I have not tried), gpu-threads 1.  However I never got my 5450 to work on X15 ...

I've already tried,but it didn't take effect

Make sure to delete the .bin file before restarting sgminer or your changed config will not be recompiled ...

Cant get my 280X work with new X15 sgminer, even did some Fire coin mining some days ago. Any idea? Thx

Hi everyone, I have been trying to get my Sgminer5.0 to mine X15 for the past few days. I'm having problems with the config file, evey config i try gives me no connection to the pool, or HW errors with invalid noncecount, also the other issue is low difficulty shares being rejected. I am using BAMT with SGMINER 5.0 and its the only way I can mine x15, if anyone has a config file i can try please I will pay for you help.

I'm using the bitblock kernel and this config to just try to get the x11 to work, but it still comes with low difficulty shares. Anytime i try another config with bitblock kernel or if i try to change this config i get invalid nonce count and HW errors. PLEASE HELP ME!

Hi everyone! Im sorry for not exect topic theme , but please tell my. Does amd 14.6 drivers no longer support scrypt/Nscrypt mining ? Im getting only HWs at any config.
2*270x+3*280x.

It worked just fine on BAMT 1.3-1.6 and PIMP 14.4 drivers.


Thanks.

My stats for X11 mining. GPUs as written.

What version?
I am using sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-06-25-win32
I know it is a pre-release, but hey, it works pretty well, so why change it?

my cards are MSI 280X Gaming 3G, driver 14.4, win 7
settings: (mine.bat)
I am using the modded bin, posted here, I get 2.9M per card at 1030 Mhz in X15
if you cannot find the modded bin or the miner, contact me, I will upload it to mega or something.

anyone with R9 280X getting better results, can please post settings and what you are using?
thanks!

I have not looked at sgminer-dev v5 for a while are there any new windows binaries that are current with the dev tree?
I am looking forward to ability to switch kernels on the fly :)  (last time I tried v5 I had GPU's going DEAD occasionally).  Anyone with recent experience please post your findings, I am most interested in X11 X13 X15 and Groestl switching capability.

is 14.7 also working?

I was unaware of 14.7 will look into it :)
Thanks for the heads-up I have edited the OP.  If AMD is releasing RC candidates more frequently I think that they are listening to our feedback :)
I will post on OP a link for previous 14.6RC2 as soon as I get it uploaded on mega.
Still downloading 14.7RC1 ...

Are 14.7 RC working  ???

I think we are all waiting for this...LOL! Because we are too scared to test it ourselves....me included.

I'm not risking it with 14.7 now, as I've spent far too much time on my many rigs updating protocols, but I'm thrilled to finally have CGwatcher working with SG 5.0 and automated Algorithm switching. Pointing 10 rigs to Nicehash right now, I had two running last night, and both made it through the night with many switches, and both were stable. So, I'm expanding to include the rest of the farm slowly (50 rigs).

I probably should better clarify what the payment is on nicehash vs. Wafflepools, as I'm not 100% clear on that. I love Wafflepools, and think the dev there is both highly skilled and trustworthy.. I don't know anything about nicehash's, but must say they have a great system setup. After a slow rollout to X11, and then X13, it's nice to make a jump to have most of the new protocols running and being up to speed on the latest trend (this week's flavor). I suppose once that is stable, it will be time to upgrade to 14.7 RC.

so nobody tried it yet ?  ;D
I updated last week to RC2... I don't feel like installing an other RC so soon (how many release candidate are they planning to release ? )

OK i'm going to see how 14.7RC goes on one rig now, having gotten some sleep I'm ready LOL.
i would have thought somebody had already tried it by now :)

Clean install of 14.7RC done, now waiting for Winblowz updates to complete so I can reboot.

Initial impressions: Well It didn't trash and crash my box :)  No noticeable increase in hashrate on a 5xxx card.
14.4 cedar bin seems to work best with this card ... Actually seeing a slight gain in hashrate using old bin :)
14.4 cedar bin https://mega.co.nz/#!DVp3EKbb!ZXO8SUTlnbeBCO-UxSGBpENiJZA9KH_wTXbBnEg20VI (https://mega.co.nz/#!DVp3EKbb!ZXO8SUTlnbeBCO-UxSGBpENiJZA9KH_wTXbBnEg20VI)

Will update production box now and try 7950+280x
Grrr ... BSOD during install, running install again ... OK install completed sucessfuly.  Again waiting on Winblowz updates to complete before reboot ...
Agonizingly slow load of wallets to start mining again.  I need to get this box a SSD :)
Mining again still using 14.6RC2 bin files and need to run for a few hours to see where they stabilize, then will try 14.7RC bin and see if any improvement ... OK actually got lower hashrates with 14.7RC bin.

My quick conclusion: Ignore 14.7RC and stick with 14.6RC2 for now.

6 Days straight so far, no issues here. X11mod

Nice can I get your X15 config?

Same as my X11

tried it myself on 4 rigs now with both newer modded kernels.
runs flawlessly. no increase to 14.6 tho I guess.

Uninstalled older drivers before installing 14.7

Same results here, i'll skip any further testing of 14.7RC1.  No harm done and have left it installed.

Edit: IDK if 5+ card issue is resolved yet as I don't have any machine that big :(

utah,

i have gotten 5 cards running stead on the 14.6rc2, running win 8.1/sgminer x11 moded/gigabyte r9 270x 4gb versions, things are normal and steady with 5 cards but throw the 6th card in the mix and all goes to crap lol.

each card hashes x11 at 2.6M/h

my power consumption went from 1100 watts on scrypt to 500 watts on x11, and my payouts are just about the same(possibly less only due to the hit scrypt has taken lately)

How are you getting x15 hash rates like that? :O

First post doesn't have a build of sgminer nor revamped cl files for x15, just x11 and x13.

Wafflepool has decided not to add X15 to the stable for the time being, so I will be doing no further X15 testing.  However I too am interested in the hashrates SavageWS6 has acheived on X15!

Based on what I'm getting from nist5, I'm guessing that's nist5 and not x15...

Yeah, going to trademybit, 7770 is setup to nist5.

Thanks for testing 14.7Utah.

I'm sorry I'm such a tease, I can't read. I'm running NIST5 algo on my screen shot, not X15. Sorry for the confusion. I haven't done a X15 test yet

I'll refund any horrific pants changes, new boxer purchases, and boners due to me misleading anyone. lol

Can anyone post config for sgminer 5, 14.7 drivers and 280x cards. All I get with X11 is bunch of HW erors when using the same config I used with old 13.2 drivers. Thx.

The 14.7 have some serious issues and may fry your gpu(s) !

Go back to 14.6 14.4 then copy 14.7's openCL files to the sgminer5 folder and the HW errors should go away.

gl

@14.7RC and everything is running fine. Came from 14.4 and no hashrate increase for me.

getting nothing but rejects in x13 mining with 5800 and 6900 series GPUs, please help !

x11mod Not Working: IS WORKING
3x MSI R9-270x
Windows 7 64bit

I've tried the following:
Catalyst 13.2, with copied 14.6 files,
Catalyst 14.4 with copied 14.6 files,
Catalyst 14.6

It crashes or gives nothing but hardware errors.  When it runs with HW errors, the hashrate is significantly higher, but all HW errors.  I've tried with and without config files, and completely removed and reinstalled the drivers 6 times.  I also remember to remove the *.bin files each time.  


Cards work fine at standard hashrates with 13.2 only or 14.4 only.  It's strange because this works on a different machine with 13.2 and copied 14.6 files on HD 6870 windows 7 64bit.  Please someone advise me what to do.

**EDIT**
Well I was using the wrong x11mod.cl.  I got them mixed up and was using the one dated 6/3 instead of 6/16.  HW errors are gone and speed is increased to 2.5Mh/s on msi 270x up from ~2Mh/s.  

Check that.. I meant 14.4 and not 14.6...

can you make Qubit Mod obtimized for more hashes ..... its the same as x11 and x13 ... its the X5

you can find it here actually: https://github.com/djm34/sph-sgminer_x11mod

To get back on topic, I upgraded to 14.7 something (I still have a catalyst windows which shows up telling me to upgrade to something else) and absolutely no difference compared to 14.6

I saw a performance decrease from 14.6RC2 to 14.7RC1 ... using bin from 14.6RC2

i need windows binaries from sgminer 4.2.2

https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer

No performance difference for me going from 14.6 to 14.7, however I did notice I didn't need a modified inf for 6 cards, which was nice.  I've been running 14.7 for about 2 weeks now on a test rig and it's been very stable.

I'm currently using "sgminer_x11x13mod_01_07_2014" for x11 and djm34's miner for nist5.

Update:
I am able to run I=17 on a R9-280X now using 14.7RC3 in windows server 2008R2 (Win7 x64)

Has there been any updates to this or the aznboy84 software miner since July?  ???

I am new to the world cryptocoin. I am looking for good settings for geforce 660m (Scrypt, x11, x13, x15). Please help

Some good news for groestlcoin miners:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=779598.0

This kernel runs noticeably faster but also HOTTER than normal

What is the newest version of moded sgminer for x11 algo? Can someone please share a link...

Many thanks

Well as far as I know this is the best ... I am trying to get pallas to integrate his super optimized groestl kernel into X11mod, that will boost X11mod I'm sure :)

Forget catalyst 14.9 WHQL performs far worse mining, stick with 14.7RC3 beta

Maybe. But I don't see any faster groestlcoin/diamond kernel anywhere.

That's about automatic creating bitsliced versions of small functions - like converting single table lookup in groestl into several OR/XOR/AND operators.

Good to see some constructive hammering out of improvements to pallas groestlcoin/diamond integration into X11mod :)
I got a great improvement mining DMD with his kernel compiled with 14.7RC3 :)
Sure it runs a lot hotter but 5MHs gain on 280x worth it and I'm still only 67C at 18.4+ MHs

Keep me informed :) I also mine X11 coins ...
And would appreciate any improvements to X11mod
Have you made any improvements to hashrate of X11mod posted on OP, I am still using it ...
I am not author of it, just happened to stumble across it on some thread I can't even remember LOL

Just remembered I gotta post a warning about 14.9 WHQL on OP, it kills hashrate LOL

Hmm I am still sgminer 4.1, I have not messed with v5-dev, i cant find a compiled x64 windows one that is up to date with sgminer-dev v5 ...

OP updated with warning about 14.9

is it latest from sgminer-dev v5? I want x64 for windows and must have diamond :)

OK will do some testing on one of my boxes, I really interested in algo switching, has this all been ironed out, I'd like to quota mine X11 multicoin + diamond on my boxes, I currently quota mine on all DMD pools, just finishing up my US mirror of miningfield.com pools and all my DMD hashrate goin to my mirror right now ... http://utahjohn.ddns.net, so far still beta see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=580725.msg9178778#msg9178778
Only pool I have finished on my US mirror is DMD right now, and just beta testing it.

ROFL right now my main mining box is DOA ... dead PS
only mining with one 280x on my home ent. box right now

btw i do use cpu-miner-wolf to mine X11 on a intel G3220 haswell Dual Pentium CPU and intel Q6600 core2 Quad CPU, have u added diamond to it yet? I have not looked in a long while ... DMD pools require "difficulty-multiplier" : "0.00390625" when mining with sgminer ... I have not yet got a CPU miner to work with a DMD  pool but can mine just fine solo to wallet with groestl without it.
I get all shares rejected when trying CPU mining to DMD pools ...

wow, any hint how to achieve that?  ;D

any chance u might share that x11 kernel, sir?  ::)

please do we are a community working to overthrow fiat currencys

do it on sgminer-dev github please :) we all need this

hehe sorry to get u upset

about to bring mining box back up. got RMA replacement PS yesterday and just getting to it ...

yah speak your peace here about anything i am not moderator but have never had to request anything be removed :)

i don't give a frick if it is irrelevent to thread

nice
my 280x only 18.4Mhs on groestl and i think 4.2MHs on X11

nice i see harly davidson now building electric bikes

and tesla cars still strong :)

see last post

this is sucks in cryptos
why dont just make it closed source and add dev fee

re your PM yes thats why i shut down my Diamond pool again

i appreciate all your work and hope u continue and keep open source

can always be reverse engineered so stay open source :)

u will get a lot more respect, that always feels good :)

are you gonna release these kernels any time soon?
one thing i like in neoscrypt miner, they keep all in github as they make any changes
you can allways have the latest and fastest version
they are not holding things in secret..
lot of people hate the way claymore makes it..

Just share the code with everyone :)

woot! nice to see such a responce hope wolf0 respond :)

@wolf0
i want my 280x at 6+ MHs!

u suck if u don't release i will delete this post if u do

give me new x11 kernel!

I am a solo miner

more detail and gtfo if u can't help us here

my days mining x11 are over, just no profit there, even if i had my 4.4mhs -->6.2mhs
so i dont really care about the kernels myself.

about neo, coins are moving to it one by one, FTC going on friday

They would really use some help with kernel, there is some problem with radeon cards older than hd7000 series.
kernels is not vectorised so cards like 6000 series  have extreme poor hashrate for now.

i have read about u wolf0 on other threads so tread lightly here

Sorry was not you, another wolf ...

I read a lot of news that you got very high hash rate.Glad if you would share some settings for us,otw it's just show that you are selfie

What's the power draw on that 290x badboy?

Nice, mine sharing the best hash/per watt kernal :P

Whats the X15 hashrate for Sapphire Tahiti AMD7970 and AMD7950?
Also post if you know about X17 hashrates for the same GPUs.

I had a rig of 6 x 290x Sapphire, over volted, over clocked, running FTC (Scrypt), it was hot, noisy and sucked enough power to run a small village...

The good old days hey, it's like we all drove around in GT's from the 60s and now we are all driving around eco friendly Nissan Micra's...

Just sold the last of my farm, it's being shipped early next week.

Now, I'm having "The Final Hash"...  I am getting an oil painting made, it will be remembered for years to come...

Stock Voltages, Stock Clocks, Max Intensity, Windows Down, System Up, one last final weekend of hashing like nobody's watching...  ;D

To think, I had 180 GPU's and not 1 game was played  ;)  That's retarded...

I'm keeping 3 of these for the memories:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/91TP9dQr65L._SL1500_.jpg

Why dont you release your optimizations, especially the x11 ones, as closed-source miner with fee, or as an open source miner with donation option?

Thats a sad thing to hear about donations, I always kept donation on (as long as the percentage was reasonable).

Anyway, a closed-source miner with fee, is bound to pay for it-self many times before it gets reverce engineered.

Of course if you have a really big GPU farm it may serve you right to keep the mining advantage for yourself.

Hi, does any 1 have optimized *.bin file for an HD6950, with i can go higher then 2Mh/s?
Pls ;)

Do you need a gpu, or can you do it with the old bin file?

Ok, i would like to help, but i'm little to far from you i think, EU :(

Wolf, maybe you can help with a problem that i have with my R9 270?
In my system i use 1x hd6950 which is running at full speed, and 1x R9 270 which is hooked up to my monitor, which is running on half speed.

I'm using firefox with a lot off tabs open, but still all goes well, until i want to play a game.
Then the speed of the 270 goes down, and i can't play the game anymore because, how do you call it, it is like playing a game with very old card. it is like the gpu is busy with something else.

Then i disable in sgminer the 270 card, which helps to play the game.
And somehow firefox stops and need to restart it again.

This happened with all versions of sgminer and all AMD drivers, and the old versions of firefox.

Is that hardware accelaration?

My problem mentioned in this page is solved!  ;D

It was a driver issue.
i had installed the new AMD drivers over the old ones.
To keep this in mind:
Always remove the old drivers, use driveruninstall program, and some registery cleaners, so nothing is left behind, then install the new drivers.

I can now open about 20 tabs in FireFox, play Star Trek online, while my gpus hashing in the background. :D
